How to travel with two passports

A holder of two citizenships chooses which passport to use for each trip. The decision depends on the destination country and its entry rules. Travellers usually use the document that allows them to enter without a visa or with the fewest formalities.

Entry and exit rule. Travellers should enter and leave a country with the same passport. This is a general requirement in most places, as border authorities use the passport to record the permitted stay and check compliance with migration rules.

Transit through third countries. Some countries require a visa even for short transit without leaving the airport. In such cases, it is more convenient to present the passport that allows visa-free transit.

Passport validity. Many countries require a passport to remain valid for another 3 to 6 months after entry. If one document meets this requirement and the other does not, the first one is used for the trip.

Buying tickets and checking in for a flight. Airlines transfer passenger data to the APIS system. If a ticket is issued for one passport and the traveller plans to enter the destination country with another, airline staff may ask to see both documents at check-in. Therefore, it is better to carry both passports during the trip.

7 benefits of St Lucia citizenship

Investors choose St Lucia citizenship not only for visa-free travel. A passport gives investors additional opportunities: citizenship for the whole family, international business options, and access to a 5-year US visa.

1. Citizenship for the whole family

An investor’s relatives may obtain citizenship together with the investor. Eligible family members include a spouse, children under 30, parents over 55, and siblings under 17.

2. Backup country for living and relocation

St Lucia citizenship gives investors an alternative place of residence. This is a country where they may quickly relocate if the political or economic situation changes in their main jurisdiction.

3. Relatively low investment threshold

The minimum investment for obtaining a St Lucia passport is $240,000. By comparison, the threshold in Türkiye is higher, at $400,000.

4. Fast processing

Investors obtain St Lucia citizenship in an average of 6 months. By comparison, obtaining a Turkish passport takes at least 8 months, and an Egyptian passport takes at least 10 months.

Investors do not take language exams or tests on the country’s history and culture. The procedure is remote: documents are submitted online, and the investment is made after preliminary approval of the application.

5. Business opportunities

Citizens of St Lucia may register companies in the country and use them for international payments. The information about the founder is not disclosed in public trade registers, which increases confidentiality.

6. Access to US visas

Citizens of St Lucia are eligible for a US B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa valid for up to 5 years. The visa allows them to visit the country for tourism, medical treatment, business meetings, or conferences and stay in the US for up to 180 days a year.

7. Easier international travel

A St Lucia passport expands international travel opportunities: 122 countries allow entry without a visa or under simplified rules. Available destinations include Schengen Area countries, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

How to obtain St Lucia citizenship by investment

Foreigners can obtain a St Lucia passport by investing at least $240,000 in the country’s economy. Applicants choose one of 4 investment options. The process usually takes at least 6 months.

Investment options

To become a citizen of St Lucia, investors choose one of the following options:

1. Non-refundable contribution to the National Economic Fund — at least $240,000.
2. Investment in significant infrastructure projects or a government-approved business project — at least $250,000.
3. Purchase of government bonds for at least 5 years — at least $300,000.
4. Purchase of real estate — at least $300,000.

To obtain St Lucia citizenship by purchasing real estate, investors choose only from real estate projects approved by the government of St Lucia. The number of approved properties is limited. Investors may sell their property after 5 years and return their funds.

If an applicant chooses the government bond option, they are entitled to return the investment after 5 years. 

In other cases, the investment is non-refundable.

Requirements for applicants

St Lucia citizenship is available to investors over 18 with legal income, no criminal record, and no serious illnesses.

• do not have significant assets in their home country;
• have not been and are not engaged in business or similar activities with their home country.

An investor may also include family members in the application: spouse, children under 30, parents over 55, and siblings under 17.

Investor expenses

The cost of obtaining citizenship includes the investment, Due Diligence fees, and government fees.

Those investing in significant infrastructure projects or a government-approved business project, government bonds, or real estate must also pay an administrative fee.

The overall sum depends on the chosen investment options and the family composition.
